My 5 year old Son loves Shrek, and a friend bought him the potion playset for his birthday. It was just a little thing, but he enjoyed it so much I went out to buy the castle. Well, I made a mistake! It looked so nice in the box, and with all the features like trap doors, stairway, secret passages, I thought I was buying the ultimate playset to jarr his imagination. Sadly most of your imaginative energy is wasted trying to find ways to keep the pieces connected, keep it standing etc. I even reaaranged it in diffrent ways to see if it be more sturdy (Interlocked the sets,tried different angles, etc) nothing. If it wasnt for the things it can do, i would say it was a total peoce of junk. My son was happy just playing with the back part pf the castle, with the transformation rooms and trap doors. NOTE*** It looks as though the castle piece with the towers and drawbridge is supposed to somehow connect to the rest of the castle, when in reality, it just sits in front of it, and only looks good from the front. Its useless otherwise, and the little snap on pieces fall off constantly, not to mention it tips over at the slightest vibration.The Drawbridge doesn't even do anything! If you still insist on buying this toy, I would suggest just keeping this piece in the box and forgetting about it, or just using it for display. On the other hand, any Shrek collecter would be thrilled with this, like I said, for display only, as long as they don't let any little hands play with it!

The castle is not durable at all, you spend much of play time trying to keep the castle from leaning or falling over. The gingerbread man paint is starting to fade after only 3 weeks. Disappointing and frustrating toy. Not worth the money!!

My son got this " toy " for his 4th Birthday and it is a nightmare ! His 7 year old brother couldn't even put it together ! Do not buy this ! It isn't worth a penny !

We were excited to assemble this playset only to quickly realize that it's a very poorly constructed toy. From the get-go, removable pieces couldn't even stay in place and pieces were either falling off or tipping over. Definitely a frustrating thing for a young child. For the price that was paid, it should have been more durable. The only impressive thing about it is the detail they put into how the castle looks. Unfortunatly, I consider only one (out of two) main pieces of the castle to be functional (and somewhat entertaining) with its trap doors and levers. The second part is useless and is already stuffed in a bag with all its pieces fallen off--and we just bought it an hour ago! I'd invest in the action figures, which are better constructed, not these playsets. Truly a disappointment.

My little boy age 4 wanted this toy and was allowed to use his birthday money to purchase it. As soon as I got the toy home I realized after opening the box that this was a BIG waste of money. Trying to be positive, I hoped that once the toy was put together that it wouldn't be.......Well getting it put together was the first dissapointment, trying to keep it together a bigger dissapointment. This toy is the BIGGEST WASTE OF MONEY, it is JUNK, JUNK, JUNK! Do not purchase this toy. The best part is the Gingerbread man.

This is about the worst toy I have ever purchased. My nephew has gotten much better quality toys in Happymeals.

What a bargin! He played with this toy for 2 days straight. He loves taking it apart and putting it back together. I think this toy is best suited for 5-8 year olds. There are lots of small pieces which are easily lost if you're not careful.

It is fun and lets you be creative. You can play with Shrek, Fiona, Mongo, and Puss and Boots all day . The castle has alot of accuracy looking exactly like it did in the movies. All characters have such detail including the onion army car. It is fun to play with since the castle has Fiona's trap door and much more.
